LINCOLN, NE, April 15 /PRNewswire/ - The acceptance of Peros' oral delivery platform and vaccine facility by the USDA marks another significant achievement by Benchmark Biolabs, a full service biopharmaceutical product development firm.

By obtaining approval by the USDA, Peros, a pioneering biotechnology company that has developed unique natural product formulation methods enabling oral delivery of biopharmaceutical compounds, is now well positioned to begin product commercialization of its oral delivery platform.
"Had it not been for Benchmark's stage-gated "BEAM(TM)" approach to our project from validation to licensure, our technology would have been yet another promising biotech discovery that would never have reached its commercial potential.", stated Dr. Grant Vandenberg, CSO and Founder of Peros.
Benchmark and Peros are excited to offer this first-in-class oral delivery technology platform that will significantly enhance the actual value of vaccines.
